Customer Reviews

Adopted Preteens NEED this book

As a parenting expert on 10 to 15-year-olds I often talk to audiences of middler schoolers. Last week in Maryland a 5th grade girl came up to me and whispered, "I'm teased all the time because I am adopted." How many others don't whisper this confession? That's why this book is so valuable. Who Am I? is written for young readers in a voice that goes to the heart of their issue and the soul of early adolescence. I have bought it for every mother and father I know who has adopted a child. It is wonderful! It will help every child come to terms with an identity issue that is complicated for those in adoptive families---a must have.

The Coolest and most informative adoption book on the market

This book was intelligently written by Charlene Giannetti. I think that it is very informative to adopted kids. My mom bought this book for me after telling me I was adopted. It inspired me to search for my birthmother when I am older. I, and other adopted kids, should be the ones to review this book because we know how it feels to be adopted. To make a long story short, this book is very good, and if a parent is having trouble explaining their kid's adoption, then is the book to explain it.
